Welcome back

Let’s hear about all those weekend toys for the boys (and girls) boats, skis, camper trailers, motor homes, 4wheel drives OK even airplanes (again add the make and model to the title we will organise as it gets unmanageable).

I've just joined this website as hubby, the kids (two girls aged 2 and 4) and I, have decided it's now or never so we're planning our trip away.

Last year we went over to Perth and hired a Camprite camper trailer which we loved; easy and quick to set up and everyone sleeps off the ground. I just spoke to their sales guy and was told there's a 14 month wait on production at the moment

So now we're looking at other options. We've been to a few of the Caravan and Camping shows and like the look of the Jurgens off road caravan, the Stargazer, but I want to know from you guys (rather than the Jurgens sales staff) how off road they really are.

For a start...Mickie...What vehicle are you guys planning to use as you 'Tug'...???AND...are you planning the '360 ',,,????...if its a Caravan type holiday you will be happy doing....Have you looked on Ebay....theres many Caravans on there at the moment...Both road & off road....

Cheers

Thanks for your reply. The vehicle is yet another consideration for us at the moment. We've had a Prado before and were very happy with that so we were looking at getting one of those but as we've decided to go sooner and our kids are smaller were have even been contemplating a dual cab Hilux or a Mitsubishi Triton.

Rather than the 360 route we were planning a figure 8 from Melbourne to Adelaide, then north up to Darwin, down the West coast, across the Overland (Perth to Carins), Cape York and outback QLD then back down the East coast - not sure if an off road caravan will handle the overland though - which is what we want to find out.
